Kodiak Island Modeler Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is a project that kept me busy for awhile. It's mostly straight from the box, except that I turned the 10 hole wheels into 2 hole, and changed out the rear wheels for spiders. I was nice and gave my mini driver air conditioning, which he/she better appreciate, because that's something that I don't often do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I had to run off for a minute before I was actually done with the post, but the trailer isn't finished yet. I still have some detail work left, and I'm going to be decaling for my own fictitious company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 James, that's wire from an old blue ethernet cable. I've got a couple of hundred feet of that around here, so I should be ste up for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice job! I've never had the pleasure (?) of building the Freightliner cabover, but it looks like you did an excellent job on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 A great looking truck. Real nice color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepmd Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Good looking combo, very sharp. Before I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be an International Transport rig. They had an owner - operator fleet that wore those colors. Love the sly humor in the moving company name, clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLD120 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Good colors and I like the wheels! One thing I found out is the trucks always look better with Dayton wheels or two hole Buds instead of the chrome 10 hole sets. Great build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
